Manage directory listings with an AI agent

If your site runs the Directories plugin, WP MCP already lets an AI agent work with your listings. Directories registers each content type (“bundle”) as a WordPress custom post type, and WP MCP’s content tools operate on any post type, so listings are handled like any other content, with every write snapshotted first.

What you need

• WP MCP installed and connected to your AI client.
• Directories active. Its content types show up through list-post-types.

Find your directory types and listings

› What directory content types does this site have?
› List the newest 20 listings in the business directory.

list-post-types surfaces the directory bundles as post types, and list-posts (with that post_type) lists their entries.

Read, create, and edit listings

› Read the "Acme Bakery" listing and its details.
› Create a draft listing titled "Riverside Cafe" with this description and phone
  number.
› Update the hours on the Acme Bakery listing.

get-post reads a listing (including its non-protected custom fields); create-post and update-post add and edit listings, each snapshotted so you can roll back from wp-admin or by asking the agent. This core coverage is verified by a regression test that drives an arbitrary custom post type through list, read, create, and update.

Honest scope

Directories keeps some structured field data in its own drts_ tables beyond standard postmeta. Standard listing content and fields are covered through the content tools today; a curated reader for the plugin’s extended field storage is future work, and we will not claim it until it ships. What works now is real listing management, snapshotted and reversible.
